the negative things about this movie have been covered extensively already, but i just couldn't help myself. just a list of my top 6 favorite terrible things in this movie. (tried to do top 5 but there were too many)
6. the title of the movie is 2012 right? yet there is no mention of the year 2012 or its significance in the entire film! 5. the time line of the film has to be one of the most disjointed and poorly constructed in history. for example, i never knew you could fly a Cessna 100 miles, be "10 minutes away" from NYC, yet get there before a 4 minute timer on a bomb goes off. 4. every time some poor schlep or schleps gets wiped out by glacier shrapnel while the protagonist family are mere feet away watching or discussing something. 3. best line in a movie ever: "The visibility sucks balls!" 2. in a span of 5 minutes of movie time, they show the exact same scene of the family drive past in a van, only the lighting has been messed with digitally. i had to go back and check for sure because i couldn't believe it myself. exact same footage. 1. arrested glacier + family hideout in statue of liberty + abrupt cutoff = worst ending ever.
